OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME

Bom de Faro is a popular board game that challenges participants to use their olfactory skills to identify different scents hidden in bottles, turning the sense of smell into a fun competition. Invented at a family New Year's Eve party, where the aroma of the cakes aroused curiosity about how many distinct smells could be recognized, the game quickly became a favourite among friends and relatives. As well as being excellent entertainment at gatherings, it also serves to educate and sharpen often neglected senses, encouraging a rediscovery of the world through smells.

GAME mechanics

  • Hexagonal Grid - The Hexagonal Grid mechanic in Bom de Faro transforms the traditional board into a set of hexagonal cells instead of square ones. This adds an extra layer of strategy, as each cell has six potential neighbors, instead of the usual four. This configuration allows for more complex diagonal movements and gives the player more tactical options. Imagine being in a three-dimensional puzzle where every move opens up a new range of possibilities. It feels like playing in a beehive, where every move needs to be well calculated in order to master every possible angle. This mechanic encourages exploration of the possibilities of connections in ways that are not possible on traditional boards and is an innovation that challenges the player to rethink their usual strategies.
